Marie Clare presents you're gonna want to hear this. Hello and welcome back to You're Gonna Wanna Hear This, A Mary Claire podcast. I'm Georgie McCourt. Now, today I am joined by a woman who knows a thing or two about reinvention. Anina Bing. She is a fashion designer, an entrepreneur, a creative director, a mother, and the founder of one of Fashion's most recognizable modern labels. Anina started her namesake brand in a Los Angeles garage back in 2012. with a tiny collection inspired simply by her own wardrobe. Think vintage denim, rock and roll tees, leather jackets, and that impossibly cool Scandinavian Meats LA aesthetic. Now, fast forward more than a decade and Anina Bing is a global fashion business worn by everyone from Kate Moss to Kendall Jenner.
But today Anina is writing a very different kind of chapter. In her forties, she's been rethinking what success means, happiness and fulfillment. She's navigated divorce, motherhood, burnout, and the sometimes very uncomfortable process of asking yourself, is this the life that I really want? Now she's reconnecting with old creative passions like music with a new album on the way, designing a new home, and figuring out what it means to build a life that really feels more authentically hers. Today we are going to talk about reinvention, confidence, motherhood, fashion, music, ambition, and why sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to start again. This is Anina Bing in Sydney with me and you're going to want to hear this.
And Nina, welcome. I'm so glad, as I said, I have met you once before twenty nineteen, which feels like such a long time ago.
Yeah.
And here you are, second time in Australia.
Second time.
When I heard you were gonna be in Australia, I was like, We need to get you into our podcast studio. So thank you for making the time. I know you're on a very tight schedule.
Thank you for having me.
Now I want to get straight into it because in February you said I was not living my truth or feeling fulfilled. What did you mean by that?
That's a deep question. Um I think you know, like I'm forty-three now and I think as a woman we evolve and for me it was many layers. It was in my marriage, it was uh in the business, it was in actually many areas of my life and I needed to make a change. М ади ботинний бізнес аннимай персонали I think I had some kind of awakening, which I hear happened to a lot of women when they hit their forties and And it's been a beautiful journey. It's been a deep in our journey, but I've I'm on the other side now and I feel so good.
How long do you think that that awakening had been building?
For years, I think. I think he was coming for yours, but I didn't I was so busy just building, building, building, little kids, uh business life. So I didn't have time to actually sit with myself and truly feel how I felt. So when I took that time There was a couple of years of of inner work that needed to be done. I don't think
anyone, like most women I know don't ever take the time to sit with themselves. And it is that's actually the hard part. Like being really, really busy and filling up your days and filling up your time. Like people can do that. But to actually sit and work out what's going on inside you, like that that's very hard. And
it's uncomfortable and it can be scary 'cause you might find things you need to work on or change.
Because you have spoken about experiencing burnout a couple of years ago. And I think from afar, obviously your incredible brand has grown and grown and grown.
